Caleb McConnell on his Rutgers career, the Scarlet Knights future and a certain fictitious bus driver:
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Caleb has a great smile. Looking forward to seeing him make cameos at the RAC and getting a crazy ovation
Gosh sucked the season ended like it did but the farewells and well wishing has been amazing even as someone who isn’t an alum but attached to the team.
When Painter said “I love you man” to Caleb in the BIG tournament it really summed up the sentiment for many fans like myself.

Caleb is someone you just can’t not root for.
"Someone once told me if you're good at something, try to be great"

He seems like he is as good a kid as he is nasty on D.
When you look back at pikes tenure 20+ years from now, Caleb will be the player that most exemplifies his style.
An absolute gym rat that seemingly willed himself to become possibly the best defender ever on the banks. He was truly a joy to watch for 5 years. One of my favorite players.
I will always attest that his back injury’s early in his career tanked his jump shot. If you go back to his freshman year his fundamentals were significantly better.
Nonetheless, thank you Caleb. I don’t think there will ever be an easier guy to root for

I really loved pulling for a lot of our players over the years, but I’m really going to miss Caleb… he’ll go down as one of my all-time favorites.
Loyal kid to a T. It’s going to be fun following him. His defense will earn him good money somewhere for sure. Best of luck to him going forward.
I remember his first game as a freshman and several games after that. He seemed like one of the biggest misses in a long time…like a Souf Mensah miss. It’s a credit to him and the coaching staff as to how he evolved after that. He embraced his strength…defense…and became the best at it. His offense improved along with it, and he did all of it while being a truly class act, who is incredibly likeable and will continue to be an ambassador for Rutgers. Well done.
Great to see Caleb so happy after the way the year ended with a snub by the NCAA Committee and the loss to Hofstra.
I think he’ll get a shot. There are still situations where a stop is needed or a defensive spark is needed in the NBA.
Much easier to root for hard working overachievers than those who have insane talent and don’t put in same effort.
